March 4, 2021: Seventy-three percent (73%) of voters nationwide have either received a COVID-19 vaccination or know someone who has. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that total includes 20% who have been vaccinated.
Another 53% have a close friend or relative who has already received the vaccine.[1]
Not surprisingly, the numbers vary by age. Among senior citizens, 87% have either been vaccinated (54%) or know someone who has (33%). Among the youngest voters, those aged 18-24, just 3% have been vaccinated. However, even among those young voters, 58% have a close friend or relative who has been vaccinated.[1]
The growing reality of the vaccine has significantly increased the number who believe the worst of the pandemic is behind us.
Yesterday's Number of the Day found that 50% of voters now believe that many states and cities overreacted to the coronavirus pandemic.
